Jackson County Board of Commissioners Approve Increase in Funding for Two Entities

Thu 1-23-2025

(Jackson) The Jackson County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on Tuesday. The board approved $5000 increases for the Jackson County Agricultural Society and Jackson County Historical Society. The ag society will receive 45,000 from the county this year and the historical society we receive $56,000. The Jackson, Lakefield and Heron Lake Ambulance Services also requested an increase in funding from the county but want representatives from each service to report to the board on why they would need an increase in funding from the county. That will happen at a future meeting. The historical society made a separate request for funds to repair the pioneer cabin. The board will wait to vote on that after the current fundraising campaign for the repairs is over.
